Negeri Senja

A wanderer who seeks out sunsets all over the world comes to a poor land that appears on no map, where time seems to stand still: the sun hangs forever on the horizon, and there is no morning, noon or night, only dusk. Behind its beauty he finds a human drama of power, intrigue, oppression and massacre. For two hundred years the land has been ruled by Tirana, a cruel blind woman whose rise no one alive can explain. She reads the thoughts of anyone touched by the evening light, has struck love from the dictionary, and treats knowledge and free speech as taboo, so people speak little and think only in dark, stuffy alleys. Rebels band together as the Black Party to overthrow her.
